My old Mk3 Golf 3dr Tdi and other past cars

[twincamsham]

This is my old 1995 Mk3 Tdi 3dr back in ireland
Loved it to bits.

Bought it stock standard as a very very rare 3dr match.

5 stud conversion and 17" BBS , Vr6 brakes all round, -60mm apex springs.
full 16v Gti Interior. Running 22psi Boost , Tuning box, Octavia 110bhp injectors, mk4 style headlights, Vr6 body option parts colour coded.
debadged grille. M3 tailights

Very quick car,used pull a genuine 120mph. 185-190kmh) i surprised a lot of fast petrols and handled and stopped unreal, huge cloud of soot swirling out the back! running the red dyed "farm diesel" while doin my apprentcship. happy memories!




Also a mk2 that i built from bare shell with sunroof,
put in an Audi 80 sport 2.0 16v, ported polished, high compression, lightened flywheel , coilovers -80mm drop , big brakes all round, the first 18" wheels in my town back in the day!
no door handles full flushed , bad boy bonnet, white leather 16v interior, chrome roll cage, had a little dvd player in it too.
T3 transporter vent in the front wing, crystal headlights.G60 archs, vr6 splitter. single wiper, proper bad boy bonnet welded on , 3 slat grill ,
Took so long to complete, manys a night spent freezing in a friend shed on winter nights putting it back togeathar.
looks pretty gaudy now but was something different yrs ago i suppose!






My 6 series in QLD 2 yrs ago, getrag 5 speed manual and BBS. Slammed, clear lenses all around. refreshingly different




my Estorial Bleu E36 M3 3.2 Evo in Qld last year,factory standard amazingly. SMG unreliable and boring. now sold



My Mint E30 325i sport back in Ireland late 1990s,17" Alpinas.slammed .what more do they need?



Returned to my Diesel roots! 1997 Peugeot 405 D turbo in Brisbane last year,
Slammed, Debadged despoilered, Mi 16 interior and archs, Upped Boost and fuel. Great car for journeys to sydney 1200km per tank. massive torque on boost.
I know - horrible wheels, try getting 4 x 108 in something nice!, they were off a ford fiesta with big spacers fitted and even then just acceptable




My old Kombi bus with subaru EJ20 2.0 Turbo, head turner.I didnt build this one it came from sth australia. gone to a new home now.




My 6 series coupe along with M535i drift pig. Welded Diff not much else! Happy days
Used it for the Getrag Box when she eventually died!



Mk 2 escort i was building, sadly sold as unfinished project, 2 door round headlight. Genuine RS mexico decal kit
Central locking and remote control start up fitted.
Vauxhall/Gm C20 xe 2.0 16v with T5 box and Toyota supercharger.
280 mm front discs with volvo 4 pot calipers, Ta 18 corrola rear axle with discs and LSD
15" lotus rims
King superlow springs . recaro seats , Rs2000 black interior.
Never saw this car run sadly.

wow mate, you've had some sexy cars.

2 door mk3 tdi - what a hottie! definately my fav (based on looks, no diesel bias here )

[twincamsham]

2dr mk 3

Thanks mate

Yes that 2dr mk3 was one rare find, I have to say looking back over all the cars iv owned this stands out as being an all time favourite.

I was lookin thru the Auto trader one rainy afternoon and there she was at some shody backstreet dealers just outside belfast,on the phone collect the lads out of the pub empty the ATM and about 7 hours later i was back down south with it.

One family owner , full vag service history and 1300 uk pound! steal

First thing i did was tune it and lower it.
On the oem 13" wheels it had that much grunt the spare wheel well would wack the ground under boost in first 3 gears, the BBS jacked it up just enough and never had any problems after.

another of the 6 i couldnt fit above

[GoLfMan]

Love the 6 series, but my fav is the Mk3 aswell, just so clean!

nice... sounds like you're list of mods is not so dissimilar to what i've done to my diesel mk3 too - gotta love vr6 spec brakes without the engine up the front to weigh it down too much

[Mrk_Mickey]

Mate, hats off to you and your collection of cars. I'd love to have a repertoire of previous cars similar to yours one day (and not only in quantity!)

[dubbed]

I love the Bimmers mate.. Really loving the E30 and E36.

[twincamsham]

vw dubs

Thanks for all the nice comments lads,

Iv had quite a lot more rare sorts of cars but sadly i havent pictures of everything anymore. Mostly German Biased, but for sexual simplicity its hard to look past a vw of any type, the more you take off the better they look.

I love seeing a modifed Vw in Australia as its a dare to be different thing and also one has to appreciate the extra effort needed to source "nice bits" out here.

I havent built or really modifed anything in the last 3 years ( the mk2 escort was my last attempt) and i got sucked into the materialistic ways of the mining game.

GLDgti how does your mk3 run- is it very quick? A bleed valve on the turbo actuator line was another thing i had fitted and on cold nite was running 22psi, something in the ecu would cause it pulse slightly so i presume it has a built in boost overload cutting fuel somewere- had thought of fitting a 3 bar map sensor but didnt have the knowhow or coin to get a custom written program etc to eliminate this, so i reckon there was more left in her..

im off to live in France next so hope to get back into the scene, A trip to that crazy worthersee cup will have me drooling again !
if you havent seen pics from this show google it , simply insane stuff.

I think bigger turbos and stand alone managment such as motech for diesels will be the next big thing..
